RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together, we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to global poverty.
The past 25 years have seen tremendous improvements in global poverty. Preventable child deaths have been cut in half and millions of kids are in school for the first time. But there is still work to do. This year, 6.3 million kids will die from preventable causes before they reach their fifth birthday and 58 million children will miss out on their chance to go to school.
For the first time in history, we have the resources that are necessary to end poverty and make sure all kids can grow up healthy and strong, go to school, and reach their full potential. The latest evidence shows that we can end preventable maternal and child deaths within our generation. Our vision for a better world is not only possible, but it’s probable and achievable. You can see more on our vision here.

As a RESULTS volunteer, you can help us reach this vision through powerful and passionate advocacy. RESULTS volunteers receive training, support, and inspiration to become skilled advocates. In time, volunteers learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions that will improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity. Volunteers help build a powerful movement for the end of poverty by meeting face to face with members of Congress, engaging with the media, and communicating about global poverty and hunger issues in their community.
Never advocated for something before? That’s ok! We’ll teach you how to be a powerful advocate and help you develop an understanding of the issues. Our activists and grassroots groups meet with their members of Congress, educate their communities, and generate media coverage.
This is an opportunity to create real change, and to be on the front lines of the poverty fight. The skills you will learn as a volunteer will not only help you become a powerful agent for change, but will also help you in your daily life to become a better speaker, writer, and informed citizen.
There is no cost to you, just a commitment of 2-4 hours a month, continuous training and support from RESULTS staff. Together, we can create pathways out of poverty and build a society where opportunity is not a privilege for those with the means, but a right for all to thrive.
We invite you to be part of this movement by becoming a powerful voice in your community Contact Frank Gilbert, (502) 457-7488 or flg725@gmail.com, to find out how to become involved.

Description
RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Volunteers receive training, support, and inspiration to become skilled advocates. In time, volunteers learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions that improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity. With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact through the enormous power of advocacy - whether it’s helping change policy to support millions of families putting food on the table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world’s most vulnerable children. Backed by the in-depth research and legislative expertise of staff, RESULTS advocates realize the incredible power they possess to use their voices to change the world.
